The development and improvement of physical design tools for Field-coupled Nanocomputing (FCN) is critical to the success of this emerging technology. To compare the results of new physical design algorithms, this benchmark suite provides common benchmark functions in the field combined with state-of-the-art layouts. In addition to layouts using different gate sets, such as the QCA ONE📄 gate library for Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) or Bestagon📄 for Silicon Dangling Bonds (SiDBS), the following benchmark library also differentiates between different underlying clocking schemes such as 2DDWave📄, USE📄, RES📄, ESR📄 or ROW📄. Furthermore, all layouts have been verified using fiction's equivalence checker📄.
All layouts can be downloaded as fiction gate-level layouts files (.fgl), which can be parsed and generated by fiction.
The respective publications for the gate libraries, benchmarks, clocking schemes, physical design algorithms and optimization algorithms can be found by clicking the corresponding paper (📄) symbol.
